Postdoctoral Researcher Positions in Robotics at City University of Hong Kong

Join Our Robotics and Intelligent Systems Lab at City University of Hong Kong!
We are currently seeking 2-3 postdoctoral researchers to join our team.

We are a leading research lab, currently focusing on cutting-edge projects in hybrid locomotion, bio-inspired flight, physical intelligence, and adaptive morphology. Our lab is located at City University of Hong Kong. The Robotics and Intelligent Systems Lab has maintained a high standard in research and publication, while the City University of Hong Kong provides an outstanding environment to undertake world-class research. CityU is currently ranked #54 in the 2023 QS World Universities Ranking.

As a postdoctoral researcher in our lab, you will have the opportunity to work on a variety of exciting projects at the forefront of the field. You will collaborate with a team of researchers and engineers to develop innovative solutions to challenging problems in novel robotic systems inspired by nature, including micro aerial vehicles, flying robots, and hybrid locomotion devices. We aim to achieve enhanced capabilities, adaptability and “intelligence” in robotic systems through insights from biology, soft robotics and machine learning. Currently, we have openings for 2-3 postdocs to work on exciting projects related to:

1)  Resilient and adaptive micro drones: Developing micro aerial vehicles with variable morphology, reconfigurable wings and intelligent control for enhanced flight stability, maneuverability and safety in unstructured environments.
2) Morphing soft robots: Designing robotic systems with adaptable soft bodies, laminated structures and compliant mechanisms that can reshape their morphology, kinematics and dynamics in response to environmental cues.
3) Bio-inspired hybrid locomotion: Creating robotic platforms that can transition seamlessly between aerial, terrestrial and aquatic mobility using principles from animals with multi-modal locomotion.

Candidates must have a PhD in robotics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or a related field. Strong skills in dynamics, control, manufacturing, programming and biologically-inspired design are preferred. Previous experience with flying robots, soft robots or hybrid robots will be advantageous.

We offer a competitive salary, a dynamic and collaborative work environment, and opportunities for professional growth and development. If you are passionate about bio-inspired robotics and micro aerial vehicles and want to work on cutting-edge projects with a top research lab, this is an excellent opportunity to work with leading researchers in bio-inspired robotics and contribute to the development of revolutionary robotic technologies. Please send your CV and a cover letter describing your research interests to Dr. Pakpong Chirarattananon at pakpong.c[at]cityu.edu.hk. We look forward to receiving your application!
